DECREE declaring that Illinois legislative leaders who promoted and voted for the act concerning abortion of 2017 (house bill 40) and the reproductive health act of 2019 (senate bill 25) are not to be admitted to receive holy communion, and catholic legislators who voted for pro-abortion legislation are not to present themselves for holy communion per Canons 915 and 916 of the Code of Canon Law

Excerpt:

These persons may be readmitted to Holy Communion only after they have truly

repented these grave sins and furthermore have made suitable reparation for damages

and scandal, or at least have seriously promised to do so, as determined in my judgment

or in the judgment of their diocesan bishop in consultation with me or my successor.

Back in February of last year, in the wake of the U.S. Senate’s failure to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Children’s Act, Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, made the public declaration that Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., one of 14 Catholic senators who voted against the legislation — should be prohibited from receiving Holy Communion in the diocese.

Now, in a new decree issued today, Bishop Paprocki has extended that prohibition to Catholic politicians who voted in favor of two Illinois bills that promote abortion, the just approved Senate Bill 25 and House Bill 40 that was approved in 2017.
